Kell, N.P. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Li, L. (author), Santibanez-Borda, E. (author), Pillai, A.C. (author)This paper presents a novel agent-based, stochastic model, which uses game-theoretic principles to simulate Contract for Difference (CfD) auctions. The framework has use cases and implications for policymakers and renewable generators alike, and can be used by developers to prepare bidding strategy and for policymakers to empirically test...article 2023

Xu, C. (author), Behrens, P. (author), Gasper, P. (author), Smith, K. (author), Hu, M. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Steubing, B. (author)The energy transition will require a rapid deployment of renewable energy (RE) and electric vehicles (EVs) where other transit modes are unavailable. EV batteries could complement RE generation by providing short-term grid services. However, estimating the market opportunity requires an understanding of many socio-technical parameters and...article 2023

(author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)This paper presents two different scenarios for the energy system of the Netherlands that achieve the Dutch government’s national target of near net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. Using the system optimisation model OPERA, the authors have analysed the technology, sector and cost implications of the assumptions nderlying these scenarios....article 2022

Kumaresan, A. (author), Kandasamy, N.K. (author), Kooij, R.E. (author)The endeavour towards making power distribution systems (PDSs) smarter has made the interdependence on communication network indispensable. Further, prospective high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources in the form of distributed energy resources (DERs) has resulted in the necessity for smart controllers on such DERs. Inverters...article 2022

Janssen, J.L.L.C.C. (author), Weeda, M. (author), Detz, R.J. (author), van der Zwaan, B. (author)Renewable hydrogen is increasingly recognized as one of the key decarbonisation options compatible with the EU’s climate neutrality goal. We quantify possible cost reductions for renewable hydrogen production until 2050 through electrolysis with off-grid renewable electricity generation systems. We focus on the use of solar PV and on- and...article 2022

Younis, A. (author), Benders, R. (author), Ramirez, J. (author), de Wolf, M. (author), Faaij, A. (author)The large-scale integration of variable renewable energy sources into the energy system presents techno–economic challenges. Long–term energy system optimization models fail to ade quately capture these challenges because of the low temporal resolution of these tools. This limitation has often been addressed either by direct improvements within...article 2022

(author)Offshore wind energy is rapidly expanding, facilitated largely through auctions run by governments. We provide a detailed quantified overview of utilised auction schemes, including geographical spread, volumes, results, and design specifications. Our comprehensive global dataset reveals heterogeneous designs. Although most auction designs...article 2022

Sprenkeling, M. (author), Geerdink, T. (author), Slob, A. (author), Geurts, A. (author)The successful and fast development and deployment of renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction technologies is a continuing and structural challenge. The deployment of these technologies is slowed down and sometimes even stalled due to societal challenges like public resistance, lack of appropriate policy and regulations, unsolid business...article 2022

Dalla Longa, F. (author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)A large part of the population in many African countries lacks access to electricity, in contrast to the ambition of reaching universal energy access as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals. Off-grid electricity technologies have been proposed as an important means to solve this challenge. It is uncertain, however, at what rate these...article 2021

de Oliveira Fernandes, M.A. (author), Keijzer, E. (author), van Leeuwen, S. (author), Kuindersma, P. (author), Melo, L. (author), Hinkema, M. (author), Gonçalves Gutierrez, K. (author)The construction sector is responsible for a substantial share of adverse environmental impacts from materials usage, waste generation, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the construction sector is a major creator of economic and societal value. Retrofitting existing residential buildings can contribute to the achievement...article 2021

We give a detailed specification of OPERA’s underlying methodology and approach, as well as a description of its multiple applications. The model has been used extensively to formulate strategic policy advice on...article 2021

Morales-Espana, G.A. (author), Nycander, E. (author), Sijm, J. (author)To lower pollution, it became imperative to integrate as much renewable energies as possible in power systems. This has been translated into forcing the maximum production of variable renewable energy (VRE) ---wind and solar--- into power systems operation. The increasing operational costs to maximize the VRE output became the price to pay in...conference paper 2021

Morales España, G.A. (author), Nycander, E. (author), Sijm, J.P.M. (author)To lower CO2 emissions, policy makers want to integrate as much variable renewable energy (VRE) as possible into power systems. This has been translated into targets for VRE as a share of total electricity generation and policies that aim to maximize the use of electricity available from VRE sources. However, in this paper we demonstrate that it...article 2021

Okullo, S.J. (author), Reynèsc, F. (author), Hofkes, M. (author)The theory on the green paradox has focused primarily on the consumption of a clean substitute produced using a static technology. In reality, we observe the gradual accu mulation of the clean substitute’s capacity, suggesting that supply decisions for the clean substitute and finite carbon resource should both be treated as dynamic. This paper...article 2021
